Mayor John Peyton says the City Council acted courageously last Tuesday when it approved increasing city fees, including doubling the garbage fee.
I’ve heard several other choice descriptions of what the council did, and courageous wasn’t among them.
But, like it or not, what the council did was necessary to begin getting the city’s financial house in order.
And it was just one step of many that need to be taken.
Peyton met with council members last Thursday and began laying out his budget plans for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1.
